A Voyage to 



found the Governor Emanuel Man fa , with fome Portugueze, 

 who had brought Refrefliments. After having treated him 

 handfomly aboard, he was faluted by way of Huzza. 



His kind Reception fo far reconciled the Inhabitants, 

 that every Day they brought us Piragua's full of Fowl, 

 Tobacco and Fruit. Whilft we were making that little Ex- 

 curfion in our Yawl, the Ship was wafliM and tallow'd ; 

 1 8 Pieces of Cannon were put into the Hold to make it lie 

 more fnug in the Water, confidering the rough Parts we 

 were to pais beyond the Southern Lands* We alfo brought 

 it nearer to'the Ifland of S. Katharine, for die more eafy 

 watering ; and becaufe the Tides are very fenfible, tho' not 

 very regular, or little known, and the Sea does not rife 

 or fall above five or fix Foot, we moor'd E.N.E. and 

 W.S. W. 200 Fathom from a little Ifland, which bore 

 from us S. S. E. the Ifland of Gal bearing from us N. E. 

 and by N. about four Leagues diftant, half cover'd by the 

 fecond Point of the Ifland of S. Katharine, which is the 

 moft Northerly. After we had very commodioufly made 

 good Wood and excellent Water, we waited fome Days 

 for the Beeves, which the Portugueze had fent for to La- 

 goa, 12 Leagues from the Ifland : But on the 9th of April, 

 perceiving they ftill demanded more Time to bring them, 

 we thought it not convenient to lofe more Time, becaufe 

 the Seafon was already fome what advanced, to turn Cape 

 Horn, a Place to be dreaded, for the contrary Winds and 

 foul Weather there met with in Winter ; therefore, the 

 next Day, being Sunday, we put out to Sea. Before we 

 proceed on our Voyage, it will be proper, in this Place, 

 to fay fomething of the Ifland of S. Katharine.
